Two Colorado officials were convicted under the same felony statute — attempting to influence a public servant — and the cases ended very differently at the district court level. The contrast between former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis and former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is (rightly) fueling debate over prosecutorial discretion, count stacking, and whether Colorado’s system operates consistently.


quote:

The Senator’s crime was three false statements to four public officials — but it was charged as three false statements to one. For these four felonies, Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to two years of supervised probation, 150 hours of community service, and a fine. The democrat former Senator avoided prison.

"Totally fair", it is nuanced so only we can understand and tell you what to think about it

Tina Peters is the target of a personal vendetta by jena griswold for evidence that commirado's elections are rigged and will / should put griswold in prison for a long time. griswold is running for commirado attorney general in this years election and will "win" easily unless their crooked elections aren't set right.

Bringing up the L-word in this thread just makes the concept even more broad/malleable.
